For more than 40 years, the Agriculture Communicators of FL has been dedicated to promoting the value of Florida agriculture and to helping elected officials and the public understand more about the state’s rich agricultural history and its diverse agricultural industry. The ACF is a non-profit organization guided by a board of directors made up of professional communicators from associations, businesses and institutions that are engaged in or support Florida’s agricultural community. Every four years, along with Farm Credit, the ACF sponsors a Candidates Forum for Florida’s governor and Cabinet races to bring growers and those seeking to lead our state together to discuss issues critical to our state and our industry. The ACF also provides valuable networking and educational opportunities for professionals and for individual producers and association volunteers in the areas of public relations, communications and issues management.
